DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HF Sinclair Corporation (NYSE and NYSE Texas, Inc.: DINO) (“HF Sinclair” or the “Company”) today reported Net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders of $2,015 million, or $11.38 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to Net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders of $403 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Excluding the adjustments shown in the accompanying earnings release table, adjusted net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders for the third quarter of 2026 was $2,079 million, or $11.75 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders of $459 million, or $2.44 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025.

HF Sinclair’s Chief Executive Officer, Franklin Myers, commented, “Our third quarter performance reflects the strength and continued focus on safe, reliable execution of all our businesses.

Looking forward, we remain focused on safe and reliable operations, advancing our strategic priorities and positioning HF Sinclair to create long-term value for our stockholders.”

Refining segment income before interest and income taxes was $2,435 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to income of $476 million for the third quarter of 2025. The segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $2,582 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $661 million for the third quarter of 2025. This increase was driven principally by the tight supply of transportation fuels across the markets, elevated crack spreads and benefits from the small refinery RINs waivers granted by the EPA. Additionally, stronger transportation fuel sales in the West region were offset by lower sales in the Mid-Continent region due to the planned turnaround at our El Dorado refinery. Adjusted refinery gross margin was $54.22 per produced barrel sold, a 183% increase compared to $19.16 for the third quarter of 2025. Crude charge averaged 614,060 barrels per day (“BPD”) for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 639,050 BPD for the third quarter of 2025.

Renewables segment income before interest and income taxes was $123 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to a loss of $55 million for the third quarter of 2025. Excluding the Lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment benefit of $30 million, the segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $109 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $(13) million in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted renewables gross margins increased as a result of improved RINs prices, higher Producer’s Tax Credit benefits and increased sales volumes compared to the third quarter of 2025. Total sales volumes were 63 million gallons for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 57 million gallons for the third quarter of 2025.

Marketing segment income before interest and income taxes was $31 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $22 million for the third quarter of 2025. The segment reported EBITDA of $39 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $29 million for the third quarter of 2025. Total branded fuel sales volumes were 420 million gallons for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 360 million gallons for the third quarter of 2025.

Lubricants & Specialties segment income before interest and income taxes was $38 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $52 million for the third quarter of 2025. The third quarter results reflect special items related to the decision to retire our Mississauga, Ontario base oil refining assets (the “Mississauga Refinery”), with the transition expected to be substantially completed in the second half of 2027 (the “Mississauga Asset Retirement”). The Mississauga Asset Retirement costs include an impairment charge for the abandonment of certain assets under construction of $27 million, severance costs totaling $28 million and incremental accelerated depreciation and amortization charges of $54 million. Excluding these items, the segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $174 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to EBITDA of $78 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by sales mix optimization and strong product and base oil prices in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025. During the third quarter of 2026, we recognized a FIFO benefit of $22 million compared to a FIFO benefit of $2 million during the third quarter of 2025.

Midstream segment income before interest and income taxes was $87 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $98 million for the third quarter of 2025. The segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $101 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to EBITDA of $114 million for the third quarter of 2025.

For the third quarter of 2026, net cash provided by operations totaled $1,784 million. At September 30, 2026, the Company’s Cash and cash equivalents totaled $3,333 million, a $2,355 million increase compared to Cash and cash equivalents of $978 million at December 31, 2025. During the third quarter of 2026, the Company announced and paid a regular dividend of $0.525 per share to stockholders totaling $93 million and spent $479 million on share repurchases. Additionally, at September 30, 2026, the Company’s consolidated debt was $2,774 million.

On October 28, 2026, our Board declared a regular quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.525 per share, payable on December 2, 2026 to holders of record of common stock on November 12, 2026.

In July 2026, we announced plans to pursue a separation of our Lubricants & Specialties segment through the capital markets, creating a new independent, publicly traded company (the “Planned Separation”). The Planned Separation is expected to be executed in a tax-efficient manner. We expect the Planned Separation will be in the form of a distribution of at least 80.1% of the Lubricants & Specialties company’s stock and will be substantially completed over the course of 2027.
